[QUOTE="spiney, post: 177961, member: 192438"] Criticism accepted, I do agree there's an offputtingly huge amount of stuff, far too much detail for most practical purposes. The general idea was "all levels of information in one place", but that's very ambitous and maybe impossible. That said, I'll try to tidy up a bit, and be more "user friendly". The first few paragraphs - and first 5 or 6 links - give quick stuff with FAQs and news etc, hopefully useful for complete newcommers. Then, the rest gives far more specific details, with further links explaining various technical principles. Hopefully, my own brief descriptions and summaries should make at least some sense, then the added links give much more detailed info if required (there's lots of specific stuff around the Internet, on various HDTV topics, but that's no use unless you've first some idea of what you're looking for!). It's done in "rambling mode", the central theme being HDTV bandwidth, since that's indeed the main problem, determining how everything else is done! You don't necessarily have to wade through all that, but on the other hand, I don't know any other Internet site that explains this particular "crucial issue" of HDTV, and how it's affected the various practical technologies now being used. Anyway, fair enough, it all shows that I'm an anal retentive boring fart (can you be anal retentive but still fart?), and hopefully others will soon be adding additional more helpful stuff. [/QUOTE]
